The Lilburn City Council voted Monday to approve a zoning change that will allow Habitat for Humanity to build five homes on Burns Road at the corner of East Johns Road. The acre at 3826 Burns Road, previously zoned for commercial property, will now allow residential zoning for five single-family lots.
Conditions of the approval require a 5-foot sidewalk on Burns Road, two-car garages, and a mixture of building materials to make each home unique. Homes will have a minimum heated floor space of 1,400 square feet. The homes will be sold at fair market value, interest free and profit free, to low-income families who have been through a rigorous application process, according to Gwinnett Habitat for Humanity Executive Director Brent Bohanan.
